Decision No. (131) of 2015. Accordingly, the NIHR would prefer to retain the text of the second paragraph of Article (41) in the original Law, and delete the new second paragraph of Article (27) in the draft law. Second: Draft law on domestic workers (prepared in view of the proposed law submitted by the House of Representatives) 1. The NIHR referred its advisory opinion on a draft law on domestic workers (prepared in view of the proposed law submitted by the House of Representatives), consisting of (26) articles, as well as the preamble. The articles, in its entirety, address organizing the recruitment of non-Bahraini domestic workers, by setting forth the most important conditions that homeowners (employers) must meet to be granted permission to recruit domestic workers, the obligations of the recruitment offices, and the main obligations, duties, and responsibilities of both the homeowner (employer) and the worker and the relationship between them; in addition to including the financial penalties in the form of fines for those violating its provisions. 2. Before expressing its views on the draft law in detail, NIHR prefers to present a number of general observations, which it regards as being consistent with the considerations of the draft law, as well as being in harmony with international and regional instruments relating to domestic workers, as follows: 1.1. Using a number of terminologies that are consistent with human dignity: 1.1.1. The authors of the draft law, when using the term “domestic worker”, ruling out the term “house maid”, did well. Using this term, as viewed by the NIHR, is in conformity with the conventions of the International Labor Organization, foremost of which is Convention No. (186) of 2011 on Decent Work for Domestic Workers, which used the term “domestic worker”; some relevant comparative legal systems followed the same approach. 1.1.2. The NIHR considers that, to safeguard the inherent human dignity of domestic workers, which intrinsically refuses to be humiliated or belittled in view of the nature of domestic work, some of the terms contained in the draft law might put the worker in a position that is looked at as being inferior in a humiliating way. 1.1.3. A  mong those words and phrases that the NIHR would prefer to be replaced with more respectful terms to preserve the dignity of domestic workers and, at the same time, to be in agreement with the terms usually used by the law, is the term “the fugitive”, which is used to describe the worker who leaves work at the homeowner’s (employer), as in Article (19) of the draft law, which states that, “... in the case of finding the fugitive worker ...”. There is no harm in using another term with the same meaning, such as “leaving work” and “holding”, to read, “If the worker is held after leaving work”. 16
